Finiteer allows you to safely preserve your init.txt settings when a new version comes out without needing to rummage through the new file and change everything up.

Simply paste the contents of your current init.txt file into finiteer.txt, place the file and the program either inside your dwarf fortress folder or in the same directory as your df_[version] folder. Run Finiteer.exe and viola, your settings have safely been transfered.

It looks great. I do it every time. It's not a lot of work, but still it's quite tedious :).

Eh, I just copy and paste the old init files over. If file_changes.txt says there's new stuff added to the inits or interface, I just copy those bits too.
